When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read 'Scientific American.' It's fascinating.

Yeah, I spent my teen years in West Virginia, and when I was a kid, in Louisiana. I definitely have that exposure to two different sorts of rural: the South and Appalachia.

I was good at math, math was my thing - but I was not nearly good enough to be an astrophysicist. I was way outta my league. I realized this very quickly.

In high school, I played in a Rush cover band.

One of the most important things is just to be kind to other people. That is absolutely really important to us, and important to me. That's something that you need to help your kids with, for sure.

I'm horrible at remembering names, embarrassingly bad.

Obviously, guns are a way to protect yourself.

Peter Dinklage is one of my oldest friends from New York!

Being a father is just wonderful.

I'm used to getting reviews. I try not to read much because you'll always focus on the bad ones and not remember the good ones, so it can be a negative thing for a performer.

I used to work as a proofreader at Merrill Lynch.

Live each day to the fullness, live the life that you imagine.

Evil is present to cleverly disguise itself as good. Evil is present to control and deceive us.

I wanted both things: strength in my independence and also this new desire. This felt like the beginning of a new kind of love.

I'm always working on lots of songs at once. For me it's very emotionally driven.

When somebody asks me what I do, I don't think I'd say critic. I say writer.

Beautiful, see the cloud, the cloud appear. Beautiful, see the rain, the rain draw near.

I figured something out. And it is no secret what I figured out. Whatever the majority of people were doing, I found myself doing the opposite. I wanted to chase something great.

I believe that if you can discover something of the truth of a person, then you will start to understand, and to understand is to move towards, if not like, then at least an empathy of some kind.

I believe very confidently in the truth of Scripture, where it says that there is no authority, no power given to man except as given by God.

I have my mantra about silhouette, proportion, and fit. I believe that when they are in harmony and balance, you’ll look great in anything.
